There has been a hold up in handicap system calculations by Snowy for 2103 over some missing data from the Natsoft system. Jan will be supplying the raw data today. With the awards ceremony 8th Dec (RSVP 1 Dec), they know they need to get this calculated ASAP as they cannot obtain the prizes from many of the sponsors without supplying the name of the prize winner.

They are still taking written submissions regarding improvements with the handicap system in 2014 and are reviewing them as they come in. Some were briefly read out in inward correspondence. There is a special board meeting next week on the matter, Nick has been invited. They will need to make a decision for 2014 at that meeting as it will effect the by laws that they need to complete before years end for racing next year.

Brought up grading and large number of D's a the front. Was told grading is all MC NSW. Was told by several members it's 12 months, 3 race meets in D, then go to C. From there on it's done on times. Very unusual to skip a grade, although Casey Stoner's application to go straight to A was allowed. I'm going to shoot MC NSW an email today to get regulations for what/how they do grading.
